Description
Queen's Farmhouse is a semi-detached house located on Queen Street, dating from the 17th century, with adaptations made around 1900. The building is constructed from cut and squared Ham stone with ashlar dressings and features a Bridgwater patent interlocking clay tile roof. It has a coped south gable and a brick chimney stack. The house is two storeys high and has four bays. The upper level contains three-light horizontal-bar casement windows, while the lower level features three-light hollow-chamfer mullioned windows with unworked top mitres and square labels. The third bay on the lower level has a chamfered cambered-arched doorway with an early pattern boarded door. The interior has not been seen.
Approximately three metres east of the house is a front boundary wall made of Ham stone ashlar, standing about one metre high. It has a simple plinth, thin angled coping, and slight piers at the gateway, ends, and centre, all sharing the same coping. There is a small wrought-iron gate opposite the door, decorated with barbed spearpoints and an 'S' design on the middle rail, which enhances the setting of the house. Attached to the north is a cottage dated 1904, which is not of special interest.
